ARSENIC IN THE FOOD.
Landlord Spencer, of Novi, Probably In
tenliopaiIy Poisoned


DErRoIr, Sept. 23.-Dr. Brodie. of this
city, gave pieces of beet which were sup
posed to have contained poison and caused
the death of Landlord Spencer, at Now. TO
DR.. J. Z. Clark for chemical analysis. DR..
Clark completed his anyalysis this morn
ing. He found that the uncooked meat
was perfectly wholesome, while the cooked
meat contained large quantities of arsenic.
He says he cannot tell without more ex-
tended analysis, whether the arsenic was in
the form OF Paris green, or rough on
rats or was the common white drug. From
the large quantities which he found, he
thinks it extremely improbable. that the
poison came from paris green, which might
have been put on the cabbages boiled with
the beef, while growing in the garden. The
only way that the poisoning could have
been accidental would be in this manner.

LANSING, Sept. 23.-Last nights meeting
OF the central committee of colored men
was mainly devoted to the discussion OF
resolutions calling for a convention, tie
bone of contention being whether to clothe
it with political aspect in the interest OF
Republicans or 10 declare the organization
non-partisan and independent. Neither
course was agreed upon and il was left in
the hands of the committee, " vhich is cecid-
edly of Republican complexion.
The only resolutions adopted out of a
dozen presented were, that the com mittee
shall work hard for the success of the Blair
education bill. and the Sherman bill for re-
funding OF moneys to depositors ia the
rreedman's Savings Bank, and ths. the
action of Minister Langston and Bishop
Turner in nominating Lee and Lamar for
the Presidency was gross insult to the
colored voters OF America.
Twelve members of the committee were
present and four new members were added
viz: Horace Jackson. OF Ingham; Thos b.
Brown, of Lenswee, Geo. Walker, OF Os-
coda, and Rev. II. J. Lewis. OF Saginaw.

SISTERS OF CHARITY.
rhanks OF the beard of Health
of Them.

81 Imemms
When the smallpox first made its ap-
pearance in this city three Sisters of
Charity offered to go to the hospital and
nurse this afflicted. The offer was ac-
cspted and during the whole Of the 30.
called epidemic the sisters have stood ct
their post, and doubtless many Of the
patients owe their restoration 10 health
to the careful nursing of these sweet.
faced, low.voiced angels of Mercy.
Now that the danger has passed and
the sisters resumed their wonted avoca.
tions. the Board of Health has per.
formed a graceful act by passing the
following resolutions;
Resolved, That the Board of Health
desires to express its high appreciation
of services OF the Sisters of Charity for
their successful management Of the
smallpox hospital during the recent
soourge of the disease in our city. They
volunteered their services at time
when the disease threatened to become
an epidemic; they converted the hos
pital into n very comfortable home. and
their kind. intelligent treatment of the
sick removed the chief objections that
persons had to entering the hospital,
thereby making 1t easy to contine the
disease to fewer centers Of contsgion,
which aided greatly in stamping out the
dread disease.
In this connection the Board desires
alao 10 thank DIR. Kannon for his valna.
BILE services, for his constant presence at
the smallpox hospital and for his expc.
rience and skill that reduced the death
rate to the lowest minimum.
